A ZnO-based flexible high voltage thin film transistor (f-HVTFT) is fabricated on a plastic substrate. The f-HVTFT shows a blocking voltage of 150 V, on-current of 170 μA, and off-current of 0.01 pA at a drain bias of 10 V. The maximum recoverable bending radius of the device reaches 11 mm, and the blocking voltage is larger than 120 V while it is under bending. The unique center-symmetric circular structure of the f-HVTFT is particularly useful to the wearable systems, which enable one to operate under bending from arbitrary directions. The ZnO-based f-HVTFT is a promising candidate to be used for power management of self-powered wearable electronic systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
